Return of Mac. Drake placed a $1 million bet on Conor McGregor to win his return to the ring this weekend at UFC 329.
Drake posted his bet on Instagram on Friday (July 10), in which he made a seven-figure bet on Stake with confidence that McGregor will defeat Max Holloway in McGregor’s return to the Octagon in Las Vegas on Saturday night (July 11).
Drake’s $1 million bet would net him $1.85 million for a total of $2.85 million if McGregor wins the welterweight bout. According to FanDuel, Conor McGregor is the fight underdog at +180 at the time of publication.
McGregor and Drake have been friends for a decade after the UFC fighter revealed they met in 2016 and met at one of Drizzy’s Summer Sixteen Tour stops later that year.
“I’m a big Drake fan. I had a meeting with Jimmy Iovine from Apple and he invited me to the show,” McGregor told UFC’s Megan Olivi. “I talked to Drake before the first Diaz fight – he contacted me and messaged me – and we’ve been talking ever since.”
McGregor invited Drake to join him on stage at the weigh-in for his fight against Khabib at UFC 229 in October 2018, with the Sixth God wearing an Irish flag on his back in support of McGregor.
Drake is no stranger to gambling. He was busy betting on the World Cup, including a $1 bet on Morocco in an attempt to jinx the African nation against Canada, but it ultimately didn’t work out for Drizzy. In early July, he also posted a video in which he hit the $30 million jackpot while playing at Stake Casino.
In terms of music, Drake released three albums in May: ICEMAN, CHARACTERS And Maid of honor debuting in the top three on the Billboard 200. ICEMAN“Janice STFU” also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Drizzy the most chart-topping hits of any male soloist.
